| To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 1449 without my signature. This bill would require the testing of all sexual assault forensic evidence kits within a specified period of time. The state budget that I signed this year includes a one-time total of $7.5 million General Fund to test rape kits-$1 million to begin conducting an audit of untested kits and $6.5 million to help test the existing known backlog. While I fully support the goal of this bill, I believe that we should allow for the completion of the audit mandated by AB 3118 (Chiu)-which I am signing today-as well as for the Department of Justice to further reduce the existing backlog using the recently approved significant funding increase. I would like to allow time for this year's legislative actions to take effect so we can gauge the appropriate next steps and budget accordingly. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr. |
